As much as I'm aware of, you cannot. There is a Linux trick with a small DOS partition sized at about 1Mb which is right enough for a loader (linload.exe + MILO) to fit. This is a floppy disk typically. Not the most elegant approach, but it works. However, it's the only way to make use of some Alpha hardware (AlphaBIOS only, no SRM console at all).
